Cardone 79-8535V Engine Control Module

Remanufactured ECM for Chrysler and Dodge

The Cardone 79-8535V Engine Control Module is a remanufactured electronic control unit built for 2005 Chrysler Town & Country, Dodge Caravan, and Dodge Grand Caravan applications. It is engineered to restore factory communication, drivability, and engine management performance after ECM failure.

Cardone remanufactured engine control modules are rebuilt from original equipment cores and validated for fit and function. This unit uses a 4-connector layout with rectangular connectors, an aluminum housing, and 38-pin male terminals at each connector interface.

Key Features

• Remanufactured Original Equipment-style ECM for direct vehicle fit
• Part number 79-8535V for Chrysler and Dodge applications
• 4 rectangular connectors with 38-pin male terminals
• Aluminum housing for OE-style mounting and durability
• Flash programming required for vehicle-specific setup
• Reverse-engineered and corrected for known design weaknesses
• Computer tested to verify electrical function and reliability
• Earth-friendly remanufacturing process reduces raw material and energy use

Product Line Details

Cardone Engine Control Modules are remanufactured to meet or exceed original equipment performance targets. During the remanufacturing process, critical components are re-soldered or replaced at Cardone’s Philadelphia manufacturing plant, then each module is tested to confirm proper operation before release.

Vehicle Fitment

• Fits 2005 Chrysler Town & Country, N/A, with OE # 4748535AA-AG; vehicle-specific flash programming required on or off the vehicle. Accurate VIN and mileage are required.
• Fits 2005 Dodge Caravan, N/A, with OE # 4748535AA-AG; vehicle-specific flash programming required on or off the vehicle. Accurate VIN and mileage are required.
• Fits 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan, N/A, with OE # 4748535AA-AG; vehicle-specific flash programming required on or off the vehicle. Accurate VIN and mileage are required.

What This ECM Helps Resolve

• Engine no-start conditions caused by a failed control module
• Check engine or drivability issues tied to ECM logic or output faults
• Communication problems between the ECM and vehicle systems
• Intermittent electrical faults related to internal solder or component failure
• OEM module replacement needs after original unit failure

Installation Notes and Tips

Before replacing the original ECM, verify the root cause of the failure. Common causes include poor grounds, power supply issues, damaged wiring harnesses, and shorted solenoids or relays. This module requires flash programming, and Chrysler PCM units identified with a “V” suffix need VIN programming. Confirm the OE number and module identification before installation.

For 2005 Chrysler Town & Country, Dodge Caravan, and Dodge Grand Caravan applications, accurate VIN and mileage information are required for programming. If the vehicle uses an anti-theft or security relearn procedure, follow the OE service manual for the correct reset process.

Quality Assurance

Cardone remanufactured control modules are reverse engineered to identify failure points, then rebuilt with critical components re-soldered or replaced. Each unit is computer tested or bench-tested, depending on application, to confirm functionality before it leaves the manufacturing plant.

This part cross-references Chrysler 4748535AA and Dodge 4748535AA for the same application.
